Learn MoreCall or fill out our contact form. We ask a few quick questions about your home and what you've been noticing - high bills, cold rooms, or drafts. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
One of our team members visits your home, inspects the attic, crawl space, basement, or walls - wherever the issue is. We measure what's there, check for air leaks and moisture, and explain exactly what we recommend and why. You get a written estimate before we leave.
Once you approve the quote, we schedule the installation. Most jobs are done in a single day. We clean up when we're finished and walk you through the completed work so you can see exactly what was done. You should notice a difference in comfort and heating costs within the first cold stretch after installation.
We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation on every project. You can ask to see our credentials before we start - no contractor worth hiring will hesitate to show you.
We come to your home, inspect the space, and give you a detailed written quote - at no cost. The estimate includes exactly what we recommend and why, so you can compare it clearly with any other quotes you get.
We're a locally owned business, not a franchise. We know Clinton County's housing stock - the older homes near downtown, the postwar ranches near the former base, the moisture issues near Lake Champlain. That local knowledge matters on every job.
If you notice any coverage gaps or issues within 12 months of your project, we come back and fix it at no charge. We want you to be confident in the work - not just on day one, but through your first full heating season.

"We had ice dams every winter for years. After they did the attic insulation and air sealing last fall, we made it through the whole winter without a single one forming. That alone was worth every dollar."
Karen M., Plattsburgh - Attic insulation
"Our crawl space was always damp and our floors felt cold in winter. They came out, explained exactly what was needed, and finished the spray foam in one day. The difference in the floor temperature was noticeable within a week."
Doug R., Morrisonville - Crawl space insulation
"I bought an older home near downtown and suspected the insulation hadn't been touched in decades. They inspected the whole house, removed the old blown-in material, and put in new spray foam. My heating bill dropped noticeably the first month after the work."

Plattsburgh sits in one of the coldest federal climate zones in the continental Northeast. That means your attic should have roughly 16 to 20 inches of blown-in insulation - far more than what most older homes actually have. If your joists are visible above your insulation, you are already losing heat.
Homes near Lake Champlain deal with higher seasonal humidity than inland areas. Wet insulation loses much of its ability to hold heat, and damp crawl spaces invite mold. For homes in low-lying or waterfront areas, choosing the right vapor barrier and foam type is not optional - it is the job.
Insulation slows heat transfer through solid surfaces. Air sealing stops drafts from moving through gaps and holes. Both are necessary. A home with thick attic insulation but open gaps around fixtures and pipes will still feel drafty and run up heating bills. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends doing both together for the best results.
Homes built before 1980 are often the best candidates for insulation upgrades, because they were built to standards far below what's needed in this climate. The right material depends on the space - blown-in works well for attic floors, while spray foam is better for crawl spaces, rim joists, and anywhere moisture is a concern.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through your attic warms the roof and melts snow, which refreezes at the cold edge of the roof. They're a sign that heat is going where it shouldn't. Plattsburgh's 70 to 80 inches of annual snowfall makes this a recurring problem for under-insulated homes. Fixing the insulation stops the cycle.
New York's NYSERDA program offers cash rebates for qualifying insulation upgrades. Depending on the scope of work, rebates can be several hundred dollars or more. Many Plattsburgh homeowners don't claim them simply because they don't know they exist. Ask us whether your project qualifies when we come out for your estimate.

If existing insulation is wet, contaminated, or compacted below half its original depth, it should come out before new material goes in. Adding on top of damaged insulation doesn't fix the underlying problem - it hides it.
Attics account for the largest share of heat loss in most homes, so starting there usually delivers the biggest improvement. But if your crawl space has moisture problems, that should be addressed at the same time - damp air below affects the whole house.
A reputable contractor will inspect your space in person before quoting, mention air sealing alongside insulation, and be able to tell you the target depth or coverage for your specific climate zone. Anyone who quotes over the phone without a site visit is skipping a step.

Plattsburgh is a small city of roughly 19,000 residents in Clinton County, sitting on the western shore of Lake Champlain - one of the largest freshwater lakes in the country. The lake shapes the local climate in meaningful ways: higher humidity near the waterfront, lake-effect snow squalls that can drop several inches in a short window, and freeze-thaw cycling throughout winter and spring. According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, Plattsburgh averages 70 to 80 inches of snow per year - some winters well above that.
A large share of Plattsburgh's housing stock was built before 1960. Many of these homes - the older wood-frame houses near downtown, the two-families near SUNY Plattsburgh, the postwar ranches and Cape Cods in neighborhoods near the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base - were built to insulation standards far below what's recommended today. Many have changed hands multiple times, sometimes as rentals, and energy upgrades are often the first thing deferred. According to Census data for Plattsburgh, a significant portion of the city's housing units were built before 1960 - meaning the older your home, the more likely it is that the insulation hasn't kept pace with the climate or your energy costs.
Plattsburgh Insulation works on all kinds of homes across Plattsburgh - from the older colonials and multi-units closer to City Hall Park to newer builds out toward the South End. Whether your issue is ice dams on a steep roof, cold floors over a damp crawl space, or drafts you've been living with for years, we know the housing stock here and what it typically takes to fix it. We've been serving Clinton County since 2020, and most of our customers come from referrals - which means the work has to hold up long after we leave.
